Around 5 years or so ago, when I was serving as a youth pastor, I used to throw around a personal motto or mantra: lex orandi, lex credendi. The Latin means “the rule of prayer, is the rule of belief.” My paraphrase became: “the way you worship is the way you live.”
Worship used to be all-encompassing. Not that I always worshiped, but I certainly did my best to direct all attention to the One who is greater. That’s what I taught (and hopefully) modeled for my teens. That in actions, thoughts, and words, God would be recognized and we would be humble.
